IOS8.1 Music App won't play "Skip When Shuffling" songs at all

iTunes has two options for skipping a song during shuffle:  the first column with the tick box (let's call this the "Play Column"), and the "Skip When Shuffling" tick box in the Options tab of the song info.
For songs in iTunes where the Play Column is unticked but Skip When Shuffling box is also unticked, this works as it should when synced to the iPhone:  ie the song doesn't come up in shuffle, but it can still be selected & played directly on Music app.
But when the Skip When Shuffling box is ticked (regardless of whether the Play Column is ticked or not), the song can't even be selected & played directly on the Music app.  When selected, it just picks another random song from my playlist to start shuffling from.
It's like the Skip When Shuffling option overrides the Play Column (no idea why iTunes should have two different options to do the same thing anyway), but has also now stopped the App from playing the song at all.  I've tested this by unticking the Skip When Shuffling box in iTunes & re-syncing to the iPhone, and the Music app now plays the songs when selected directly.
My iPhone 4S using iOS8 always played these songs with no problem, so this is a new issue/bug/feature with either iO8.1 or the app in the iPhone 6 itself.

What kind of Music App are you using?
Maybe some Apps they have bugs when using iOS7.
I'm using MVDIO and zingmp3, it's still okay here.

  • IPhone 5 music app won't play. Stuck in infinite shuffle.

    I recently received my iPhone 5 and everything went smoothly setting it up from backup. However, the music.app opens but is continuously shuffling. Music won't play. It will just cycle through songs without playing anything. My question is am I going to have to restore it or am I going to have to wait on an update? And yes I have already done a hard reset. Thanks!

    I saw in one of the other similar posts that a person said to unclick the "sync music" box, sync, click the sync music again, disconnect, reconnect, and then re-sync.  I missed the disconnect and reconnect part, so it didn't work, but when I disconnected/reconnected, it worked.  It was as if my phone didn't fully sync previously because it literally had to sync all of my music.  However, now the endless shuffling and greyed out lists are gone.  It works just as it should!  Hope this works for you too!

  • Store button on music app won't open?  Any suggestions?

    Store button on music app won't open?  Any suggestions?

    This is what I did:
    1a. Podcasts app deleted from the iPhone.  Doesn't show on any of the home screens on the iPhone.  The button next to the Podcasts app in iTunes says "Install".  Synching the iPhone with iTunes generates the message "The Podcasts app is not installed on 'Maggie's iPhone 4', so you will not be able to play podcasts on your iPhone"
    1b. Clicked the "Install" button for the Podcasts app in iTunes.  It now displays "Will Install"
    1c. Clicked "Apply" in iTunes to start iPhone sync.  iTunes shows "Copying 1 of 1: Podcasts"
    1d. Podcasts app icon is shown correctly on one of the iPhone home screens.  Previously, the Podcast app icon was a generic placeholder icon. 
    1e. Resyched iPhone and launched Podcasts app.  Everything now working properly.
    2 & 3. Didn't have to perform these steps, which implies that earlier suggestions contributed to the fix.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How come some apps won't play sound on a USB device but only on the internal speaker while others can?

    You can simply set your system preferences

    Your question seems a bit vague to me though. So can you actually inform us of what it is you are trying to do and give us examples with named kit.

  • Purchased music videos won't play

    The 2 iTunes music videos I bought won't play.
    When I try to play either one, the error message reads
    "If you purchased this song you can open iTunes and authorize this computer to play this song by entering you Apple ID and password"
    It never gives a prompt for the password.
    iTunes IS open, and all of my other purchases (non movies) play. I could play all of the videos when they were free on iTunes and never had problems.
    I tried deauthorizing, then reauthorizing my computer--that didn't change anything.
    I've been scouring the help section with no success. Please help!
    M5884   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    Nick A,
    You may want to deauthorize and then reauthorize your computer for iTunes Store purchases. For information on deauthorizing/reauthorizing please take a look at this article:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iTunesMac/7.6/en/15281.html
    You do not need to format any purchases from the iTunes Store, they are already correctly formatted.
    Hope this helps,
    Jennifer B.

  • Playlists won't play more than one song at a time

    Hi
    I have setup some play lists, some play all the songs, others will only play one song then stop and I have to manually go to the next song. I don't understand and it's driving me mad! I read through some old posts on this and made sure that the check boxes next to my songs are ticked. I have also made sure that the shuffle & 'play playlist' icons are in blue. Is there anything else I can try? Please, please help!
    Gemma

    Besides the checkboxes next to songs, you might want to check the songs themselves with the Get Info command and make sure the "Skip When Shuffling" option it turned off. If your playlist is set to shuffle and your songs say skip when shuffling, then they won't play.
    Also, are these new playlists? Or are they playlists that were ok before but now (after upgrading to iTunes 7.6?) act differently?

    It didn't show up in my music app for several hours.   Don't know why... But it's there.
    I can now access and add stations through the iTunes Store to play through music app icon.

    If you are playing music from the computer to your iPad using Home Sharing your computer must be on.

  • Library won't play more than one song at a time

    What gives? My iTunes suddenly won't play a sequence of songs. Not from the library as a whole, not from any playlist. The files are all still there and I can highlight and play any ONE, but iTunes won't then go on to the next. Tried 'select all', that didn't work either. What setting have I accidently changed? Just downloaded the newest iTunes just in case, but that didn't help. Still only 1 song at a time. Makes using iTunes as background pretty useless.

    Are you saying that when you hit PAUSE the song doesn't stop playing?
    If you want to jump to a different song while one is already playing, you don't need to hit pause/stop at all. Simply go to the song you want to here, double click it and the song that was playing will stop and the double clicked song will start. No need to use the Stop/Pause/Play type controls at all.
